Former Manchester United and Real Madrid winger, Angel Di Maria has been sentenced for one year after admitting to tax fraud.
El Confidencial reports Di Maria has been accused of two offences from his time with
Real Madrid.
He is said to have defrauded the Spanish government out of £1.14million during his four-year spell at the Bernabeu.
Di Maria left Real in 2010 to join Manchester United for a then Premier League record fee.
He has reportedly admitted to both counts of fraud and will pay a fine of £1.76million - avoiding a trial at the Spanish Supreme Court.
Despite being handed the prison sentence, Di Maria is highly unlikely to spend any time behind bars.
Sentences of under two years are suspended in Spain providing the convicted has no criminal record.
